Remember those stories you were told as a child; the story books, other people's stories and even now, how you learn from reading stories on online and on social media?
Our brain is hardwired to learn from stories and it is second nature to us. Let's therefore look at how Learning & Development specialists can use story telling in adult learning to engage learners and help them in their learning.
1. It is micro-learning that is short, interactive, engaging, and memorable.
2. It is personalized - learners can relate to the story and see its application.
3. It is flexible - stories can be adjusted to learner characteristics and settings.
4. Creativity is limitless - stories can be presented in a myriad of technical, simple, and creative ways to suit facilitators and learners.
1. Simplify complex ideas into a beginning (a background), a middle (a challange), and an ending (a suggested solution to a problem at work)
2. Sensitize the learners
3. Drive attitudinal change
4. Drive decision making change
5. Drive behavioural change
6. Check if action has taken place.
